ENERGY STAR for Commercial & Industrial Program Sponsors

Meeting these goals in the C&I market means refocusing the customer relationship around continuous, whole building energy efficiency improvement — not just motivating customers to undertake one energy efficiency upgrade. Leading energy efficiency program sponsors have integrated ENERGY STAR into C&I program delivery using tools and resources from EPA.
